The complete list of entry categoriesfor 2023 can be viewed on the Radio Awards website, where stations are advised to ensure their entry fits the required criteria. There is no entry-fee, and stations may edit their entries right up until the 9 July 2023 entry deadline.
This year is the first time that the Station Manager’s Choice category is included in the main entry system. Station managers can now submit their nominations for this category as they have done in previous years for the Hall of Fame and Bright Star categories.
The fan favourite My Station competition that gives radio audiences the opportunity to vote for their favourite station will take place later in the year, and more information will follow.
